Gold posts gains as floor trading winds down

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- Gold futures shook off mid-trading weakness to enter the last moments of floor trading posting gains. Gold for September delivery added $3.70, or 0.3%, to $1,201.70 an ounce on the Comex division of the New York Mercantile Exchange, looking poised to recapture the $1,200 level. A rising dollar had kept gold gains in check, but jitters about the macroeconomic picture trumped that. Other metals more tightly connected macroeconomics due to their broader industrial use remained lower, however. Silver for September delivery declined 23 cents, or 1.3%, to $17.93 an ounce.
